It is the matchup that Northern Kentucky football fans have been eagerly anticipating for weeks.

This weekend's rematch between Highlands (11-1) and Covington Catholic (9-3) will determine a regional champion and send the winner on to the state semifinals. The Bluebirds finished the regular season No. 1 in the Enquirer's Coaches' Poll; the Colonels were ranked third. The Bluebirds won the Sept. 21 regular season contest, 35-21. With the stakes much higher now, the Bluebirds aim to keep their winning streak over their local rival alive.
